Red mud is carried and filtration process
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of process for making alumina, the red mud that particularly relates to a kind of alumina producer is carried and filtration process.
Background technology:
Red mud for alumina plant conveying at present, the scheme of storing up mainly contain three kinds, and relative merits are respectively arranged, and its As-Is analysis is as follows:
The red mud wet method is carried, wet method is stored up scheme: this is that present alumina producer uses maximum schemes.Red mud is after the subsider washing, deliver to the filtering red mud operation and carry out washing and filtering again with drumfilter, send the red mud slurry vessel then to, red mud liquid-solid ratio L/S index is adjusted to about 3~4, arrive red mud dump with impeller pump and pipe-line transportation again, its feature be red mud liquid-solid ratio L/S height, transporting resistance little, can adopt many tandem impeller pumps to carry, because impeller pump belongs to stdn standard machinery equipment, so invest lower.The shortcoming of this scheme is that water-content height in the red mud, red mud slip volume are big, and the red mud dump volume that takies is big, and water has taken sizable volume in the red mud dump, makes the stockyard utilization ratio lower, and the investment of red mud dump is bigger; In addition, such red mud dump antiseepage is handled difficult, and is unfavorable to environment protection.
Dry-method red mud is carried, dry method is stored up scheme: this scheme is that scheme is stored up in the advanced red mud conveying that China's alumina producer used over past ten years.Red mud is after the subsider washing, deliver to the filtering red mud operation and carry out washing and filtering again with drumfilter, send the red mud reactive tank to reduce viscosity then by stirring to shear, increase its flowability, and in reactive tank, red mud slurry is adjusted to 0.85~1.0 scope than L/S admittedly, deliver to red mud dump with high-pressure diaphragm pump and pipeline.Red mud adopts dry method to store up many advantages: the first, and water-content is little in the red mud, and volume is little, and the red mud dump volume that occupies is little, makes the utilization ratio height of red mud dump.The second, moisture hardly in the red mud dump, it is highly beneficial that red mud dump is prevented blending environment protection.The 3rd, can be used for building the red mud dam behind the red mud airing, save material of construction, so the working cost of red mud dump is lower.The 4th, because ponding not substantially in the red mud dump so the internal pressure that the red mud dam body is subjected to is little, helps the red mud body to aerial development, take up an area of also minimizing.The shortcoming of this scheme is after red mud slurry reduces than L/S admittedly, the viscosity of red mud slurry is bigger, the resistance of ducting is big during conveying, usually require red mud pump delivery pressure in the production at 12.0~16.0MPa, Ordinary Centrifugal Pumps can not meet the demands, must adopt the high-pressure diaphragm pump of import, this pump price up to 5,000,000 yuan/more than the platform.Supporting two the such pumps of the alumina producer of a 400kt/a scale, the investment of buying pump just needs more than 1,000 ten thousand yuan.
Automobile is carried, dry method is stored up scheme: this scheme is generally used for small scale aluminum oxide factory.Small scale aluminum oxide factory is because red mud amount is little, and red mud is carried the cooperation unit that can entrust in addition, thereby reduces the one-time investment expense of work.But for large-scale alumina producer, just there are a lot of shortcomings in this carrying method: the first, and labour intensity height, level of automation are low, entrucking and unloading all than trouble.The second, the working cost height, except that terminal charges, transport charge, highway cost is also higher.The 3rd, if the automobile transportation is untimely, may cause disadvantageous effect to production.
After above three kinds of red muds scheme of carrying, store up studied in great detail, the present invention is directed to the deficiency of present scheme, propose a kind of new red mud and carry, store up scheme.
Summary of the invention:
The objective of the invention is to: propose a kind of red mud and carry and filter novel process, the advantage that comprehensive utilization red mud wet method is carried, dry method is stored up is accomplished reduced investment, red mud dump utilization ratio height, is helped environment protection, to solve the problem that prior art exists.
The present invention is achieved in that red mud adopts the mode that wet method is carried, dry method is stored up, promptly from the next red mud slip of sedimentation workshop last washing settling groove underflow, be sent to tandem impeller pump and pipeline carry out suitable dilution in the red mud slurry vessel of red mud dump after, advance to carry out press filtration in the red mud filter press with pumping again, the red mud wash water that press filtration obtains returns alumina producer sedimentation operation and carries out the red-mud settlement washing, and the filter cake that press filtration obtains is had bad luck each discharge point of red mud dump with automobile.
From the red mud slip that sedimentation workshop last washing settling groove underflow comes out, its liquid-solid ratio is controlled at 1.5~2.5, adds hot water in the red mud slurry vessel red mud is diluted, and red mud adopts the moisture after pressure filter filters to be lower than 30%.
Main contents of the present invention are as follows:
(1), red mud adopts wet method to carry, but the red mud liquid-solid ratio is controlled at 1.5~2.5, comes out from existing last washing settling groove underflow, without the filtering red mud operation, directly send red mud dump.
(2), build the filtering red mud operation of alumina producer in red mud dump next door, the stockyard is provided with several red mud slurry vessels, and the red mud slurry that the sedimentation workshop is sent here enters in the red mud slurry vessel.
(3), filtering red mud adopts pressure filter, make filtering red mud after moisture be lower than 30%.
(4), redly after the press filtration have bad luck in the stockyard with automobile.
At present, no matter the underflow of alumina producer last washing settling groove adopts the still dark awl high rate settling of flat subsider, and the liquid-solid L/S of its underflow is than all reaching 1.5~2.5.According to the alumina producing experience, the slip impeller pump of this concentration is fine conveying, replaces high-pressure diaphragm pump with impeller pump, and its investment can reduce significantly.At red mud dump the red mud slurry vessel is set, purpose has been the buffer storage effect, guarantees that the filter feed is stable.
Move filtering red mud to red mud dump in alumina producer, with the drumfilter of pressure filter substituting import one, investment does not have big change.But the filter cake moisture content that pressure filter obtains is lower, usually below 30%.And the moisture content that existing alumina producer dry method is transported in the red mud slip of red mud dump is 46~48%, so this programme red mud moisture is lower, and this utilization ratio, red mud dump antiseepage, more favourable to environment protection to red mud dump.
Because it is big that red mud dump takes up an area of usually, for ease of storing up, red mud transports to respectively with automobile and stacks a little after the press filtration.The only operation in the red mud dump scope of these automobiles, shipment distance is short, mainly is the task of having bad luck, and does not exist to increase highway transport volume and hand over the toll problem.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: the advantage that comprehensive utilization red mud wet method is carried, dry method is stored up, helps environment protection at reduced investment, red mud dump utilization ratio height.
